PulsePoint

Sun Prairie EMS is proud to welcome the PulsePoint App into our community. PulsePoint is a smart phone app that allows everyday citizens to become citzen superheros by responding to help victims of sudden cardiac arrest. Those who download the app will be alerted* when someone requires CPR if:

they are within a quarter mile from the scene of the cardiac arrest

the cardiac arrest occured in a public place, (not a private residence)

there are no special concerns that would make the scene dangerous to a civilian responder

Once you receive and alert*, the app will provide you with directions and tell you where the nearest Automated External Defibrillator, (AED), is located.

Together, our citizen superheros, the paramedics and other first responders of Sun Prairie are improving survival rates of out of hospital cardiac arrest. Thank you!

*Note: You must enable alerts for the app to send you notifications when your help is needed.

If you respond to a PulsePoint notification, please make sure that you use common sense and keep yourself safe while doing so. DO NOT endanger yourself or others.

What will PulsePoint look like on your smart phone?
